    alkalanity

    Why is my dkh going from 12 to 7 in three days. My calcium in the same amount of time is going from 465 to 420. The dkh seems to be affecting my astrea snails because they are dropping like flies. My PH is stable at 8.3. I have been dosing my tank for two weeks with calcium chloride dihydrate...

    Ick

    That I would love to due, but Iam without a refractometer and only have a glass hydrometer that reads a sg of 1.018. If I go and spend a $100.00 on the refractometer my wife thinks she then can go out and buy $200.00 worth of shoes to go with the 1000 pair she already has. I do see what your...

    Ick

    Well I dont want to have to worry about an ick outbreak every month in my display tank, so I guess I may do a copper treatment to the QT just to be on the save side. I hate like hell to treat the QT with copper but that seems to be the 100% way to get rid of ick. Thanks for your reply.

    Ick

    Wouldnt you think the flame angel would be showing signs of ick by now. The hippo was great for the first two weeks of QT and then on the third week I purchased the flame angel and two days later the hippo starts to show white specs coming and going. I guess its a wait and see from here on out...

    skimmer break in peroid

    Does anyone have a berlin hob skimmer? I want to know if there is a break in peroid. I installed it lastnight and its not really pulling much out, but the cheap seaclone is pulling a good amount of stuff for once and it is on the same tank. Thank you for any help.

    Why can't I use a canister filter for a Marine tank?

    I use to run two fluva 404 canisters in my 75 with a 6 inch v.lion and a 22inch moray eel and I never had an issue. I now have just the lion in the 75 running only one fluva 404 canister and samething know problems. HTH

    lion fish with a gash

    Thanks I was thinking the same but now he is not eating, been 3 days and I know thats fine but he has been looking at the food and showing interest so I dont know if the gash is starting to effect how he grabs his food. The gash doesnt seem to be getting any worse or better.

    lion fish with a gash

    My V. lion fish has a gash above his upper lip on the whole left side. It looks like his jaw on that side is hanging down. I think it might of happen during a feeding with a feeding stick. He will still eat but he stays in the corner of the tank behind a rock looking very stressed and breathing...

    Just starting-any suggestions?

    You should get the 40gl if you can go to a 55gl that will be better. Larger is easier for maintaining water parameters. For cost I would keep researching until you know what you what to keep in the tank, that will dictate what kind of equipment you will need.
